Episode 03 / Source notes

Sources for Jericho.

This public bibliography records the source capacity, the claim each route serves and the limitation that travels with it. A source is not upgraded by repetition, prestige or visual appeal.

4Selected public routes

Scope

The walls fall, but three stories continue: Rahab’s survival, Achan’s hidden treasure and the warning against rebuilding Jericho. The film follows these biblical accounts and their later connections while keeping visual reconstruction distinct from historical evidence.

These notes show how the published investigation was bounded. They do not turn textual reports or visual reconstructions into material evidence.
